As I said there are multiple ways around it. If people don't believe her, she can just show it to them. I mean, that's how they figure it out in the manga. And yes, blackmail is relevant because just having the threat of it looms over him especially when she keeps insisting for him to be "more crazy".

She can't show them the book that Light has. And no, blackmail isn't relevant because there is zero indication she or Light think of it. Light outright tells her no multiple times in the movie, something he wouldn't do if he was afraid of blackmail.

Anyway, what do you think of Dexter then? Dexter not only kills people but tortures them. He's also killed a non-violent convict that served his time.

Yes, he's a murderer too. Dexter is a series that constantly talks about how he's a murderer.

Then why would Light have been wary of L and other law enforcement the whole movie? Or hell, how did all those shenanigans in the original manga occur then? Obviously there are ways to show that the magic notebook actually works. I really think you're just shitposting now.

He's wary that they can prove he's killing people through unidentified means. He is not worried that someone is going to accuse him of having a magic notebook. If and when law enforcement gets hold of the DN, that's when Light can worry about them talking about it.

Oh, aaaaaand again, blackmail is irrelevant because she didn't blackmail him.

If you can convict someone with that you can certainly blackmail someone with it.

L would not, in fact, have been able to convict Light on the premise of him having a magic notebook that fell from the sky. No one's going to be curious enough to take the Death Note from Light because they're going to think Mia is fucking crazy for trying to convince people that Light has a magic murder book. Mia knowing about the book doesn't give her an advantage over Light because he has a magic murder book.

And again, any premise of blackmail is irrelevant because she didn't try to blackmail him. She made a suggestion, he gleefully jumped on the idea.

Stop being intentionally dense. That's not the only way to blackmail. She could tell many other people about the Death Note and eventually someone would be curious enough to take it from Light to check it if actually works. The fact that she knew it exists, how it works and that Light used it already gives her the advantage over him.

Magic. Notebook. From. The sky. You can't blackmail someone with that.

Oh, and this entire argument is pointless anyway because she didn't even bother trying to do so. The entirety of that exchange was, "Oh man, we should kill criminals." "Fuck yeah, let's do it!"

Light was a fucking moron for showing Mia that he could kill people but after he did, Mia certainly had the emotional advantage over him because she could blackmail him or threaten to start killing people herself if he didn't (which she ultimately did)

"If you don't kill people, I'll tell people that you killed that bully with your magic notebook that fell from the sky."

Yeah, A+ blackmail material right there.

Neither did the guy in beltway sniper or Beckett from this case here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bega_schoolgirl_murders
Despite being the actual murderer he was given a far more lenient sentence than the guy who told him to.

That's not comparable because I would assume that these two had a relationship beyond, "You wanna murder people and bang?" Which is about all the cajoling Mia had to do for Light to start killing people.

GiftedACIII posted...
And as I said, he was also goaded by Ryuk, who said he'd give the death note to someone else, someone who'd be much less likely to balk at killing innocents than him.

IIRC, the rule wasn't that Light had to kill people. Just that he had to keep possession of the Death Note. So Ryuk wasn't goading him into doing shit.

As I said earlier, pretty much all of that is under the negative influence and prodding of both Mia and Ryuk (after all, Ryuk said he would give the Death Note to someone else if he didn't use it, and most likely it would end up in the hands of people who'd kill for worse reasons).

That doesn't matter, he murdered people. "My girlfriend made me do it," isn't a valid defense.

GiftedACIII posted...

And he didn't have time and was in a desperate situation

So he murders possibly innocent people.

GiftedACIII posted...
Anyway it's pretty obvious he was meant to be portrayed much more heroically

Yes. He's still an asshole and a murderer.

Yeah if the guy is that easy to manipulate and is capable of killing, he's not misunderstood. He should be kept away from life

Everyone he killed were criminals or to save another's life and he balks at the idea of killing innocents. How is this any worse than characters like James Bond or the stuff Liam Neeson plays?

Their goal isn't genocide?

Oh, and you remember in the beginning of the movie where he tells Mia that they can't use that website because they can't verify that the people are actual criminals? Yeah, where do you think he goes at the end when he needs a few people to mind control?

Light himself was pretty much just a misunderstood individual who was prodded by Ryuk and manipulated by Mia, literally on his way to become the pure "god" the original Light pretended he was.

He wasn't misunderstood, he murdered people.

I heard they tried to condense way, way too much of the original story into the film.

I would say they changed it way too much for them to have condensed it. The only thing that is copied directly from the anime and was a bit too condensed for my taste was that the world began to worship Kira.

I watched and enjoyed the anime and thought the movie was a fun, if brainless, movie. The Final Destination-like sequences were a nice tough IMO.

And L didn't forgive Light, what are you talking about?

He doesn't kill light for watari's death because he realizes he had good intentions and that it was Mia who was behind everything.

I'm almost positive it was ambiguous as to what L was going to do. Even had some people in the topic I made suggest that L ends up writing Light's father's name in there as "justice" for him killing L's father-figure.

The Aladdin sequels are the only Disney sequels worth watching tbh.

Still nowhere near as good as the original, but they're not bad films.

All other Disney sequels are pretty much shit though.

Some people also like Lion King 2 but I personally hated it.

Lion King 1 1/2 was fun though.

That bizarre Beauty and the Beast Christmas special might be worth it just because you have Tim Curry playing a massive pipe organ who, in fact, prefers being an immortal pipe organ and would rather not break the curse. It's kind of hilarious because the entire movie is meant to take place during the events of Beauty and Beast. So just imagine that halfway through the original film, Belle and Beast take a moment to celebrate Christmas and defeat a giant pipe organ that tries to tear the castle down.

Sounds as if it's an "okay" movie as long as you separate it from the source material, which is what I plan to do anyway. I just have to prep myself for the scene of Light's first usage of the Death Note. I saw it in a preview and just thinking about that terribly executed scene gives me insta-cringe.

It actually works really well. Light's a little bit too much of a pussy for my tastes but it works.

Ryuk says no one has managed to write his name in the book, then who wrote the warning not to trust him? It mentioned him specifically by name in the death note itself.

I imagine the idea is that no one's written his name with the intent to kill him.

KogaSteelfang posted...
Also, after all the time Light spent controlling people, he thought he could talk Mia out of the thing he was controlling her to do. She really didn't have a choice but to take the book once he offered it to her.

I would guess that whatever he wrote was conditional. "If Mia takes the Death Note, she will die in this way." Dunno if this would work in the anime, but let's just assume it does in the movie.

I liked it. It was a fun movie. You have to really separate it from the source material because Light Turner is in NO way Light Yagami. If anything, Mia is the closest thing to Light Yagami in this movie.

I think a lot of the problems people have with the rules they lay out can be explained by one change: Ryuk seems to be a singular death god who is somewhat in charge of the Death Note. You can assume that he makes the rules and that he added the one revoke-limitation because it would be funny.

And I'm paraphrasing it, but the best line of the movie was from Mia to Light: "You don't get to act superior for being a pussy."
